CREATE A PRIVATE PC NETWORK

You crave security in the lives of your corporate PCs, yet you expect them to communicate with one another and the Internet, safely. How can you have both? Enter Signal 9 Solutions Inc., makers of personal firewall software and a new PC-to-PC virtual private networking (VPN) product called ConSeal Private Links.

Also known as CPLinks (the Marketing Mollusk guesses that the Signal 9 MarComites missed the lecture on unity branding in B-school), Private Links provides highly secure, encrypted communications between PCs over the Internet. The program protects a wide variety of applications, such as Internet telephone conversations, online chat, and file transfers.

CPLinks is included with Signal 9's personal firewall programs, ConSeal Private Desktop and ConSeal PC Firewall. It is designed to work in conjunction with these personal firewalls to provide effective protection for home and small-office Internet users who are increasingly vulnerable to attack from hackers and pranksters as well as criminal activity. Now, in addition to enjoying firewall intrusion protection, CPLinks users can engage in a variety of completely private and encrypted communications on a local area network or over the Internet.

As a "client-to-client" VPN, CPLinks creates a secure or protected "tunnel" between two computers over the Internet. The program is designed to work seamlessly and automatically with any application that uses the worldwide Internet for communications.
